While Lucci was asleep, the members of CP9 decided to start covering his wounds along with their own. Sleeping rotations were decided, as they passed the storm that was throwing them about, but the ship kept sailing straight.
After some discussion, they came to the decision to go to the nearest island. Luckily, they were no longer in the grand line after all, the CP9 base was located in the calm belt, and with the help of the seastone ship, the sea-kings did not attack them.
Getting to the nearest blue was easy, the issue came when they figured out they didn't have a map or any way to navigate to he nearest island. Which left them just roaming. They knew their general location the east blue but nothing more than that.
It was midday, when things seemed to go from bad to worse.
A shadow loomed over them from above. "Huh?" muttered Jabra as he saw this, and then, when he saw what the shadow actually was, he shouted, "Brace yourselves!", towards the deck.
Then the shadow descended fast, quickly crashing onto the deck, unleashing powerful wind that sent the group flying back.
"Well, you guys sure have caused us trouble," spoke a voice within the cloud of wind, while the shadow shrank and a young man dressed in black could be seen
"CP 2," muttered Kalifa in slight fear. "are you here to capture us?"
"Yeah, I mean, just because you guys fell from grace doesn't mean that you should drag us with you, you know," spoke the man in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Like we care!" spoke Jabra as he came down from the watch, claws aimed at removing the head of the young man.
"You should," muttered the CP2 member as he disappeared and appeared above Jabra, having used the skill Shave. Once above Jabra, the man's leg emitted a dark mist, a tell-tale sign of the beginning stages of armament Haki. Then he spoke. "Tempest kick," he said, unleashing a close-range downward axe kick that connected directly with Jabra's back, sending him crashing onto the deck, back torn open and bleeding.
"You bastard!" shouted Kumadori, Fukudorou and Kaku. All three appeared around the airborne CP2 agent and were ready to strike.
"Fools," muttered the agent as he shifted before spinning with leg extended, "Tempest tornado kick!" he said, the sharp winds collided with the 3 sending them flying and crashing against the wooden guard of the ship before they could fall over to the ocean. He landed seconds later and smiled at Kalifa.
"Just give up," he said to the woman.
"Never," she said while standing in front of the doors that led to Lucci's room.
"Well, guess I'll have to put you down too," spoke the young man before kicking off the ground and appearing in front of the woman, who lashed out with a punch, but he dodged and kneed her on her gut, with enough force to knock her out.
However, she remained standing with her arms around his knees.
"Golden bubbles," muttered Kalifa, then seconds later, his leg bloated, resembling a doll.
"Wow!" he exclaimed while losing some of his balance,
"Door!" spoke Blauno from his door dimension as he opened a small door that swallowed the leg of the agent.
"Damn it!" shouted the young man in surprise before Blauno appeared through the air door, but he remained quick on his feet, knowing that they were not safe yet. He thrust forward with a pointed finger aimed at the heart.
"Finger pistol," he said.
However, the agent suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Blauno. He kicked, the axe kick landed directly on Blauno's head smashing the man's head through the deck. The Cp2 agent sighed in relief, "good thing I reacted quickly or I'd be trapped or worst dead." He said looking at Blauno.
His gaze shifted to his doll leg and turned to Kalifa, who was no longer present. "Sigh," sighed the man before walking with his single usable leg, heading towards the room she was in.
Inside, he found Kalifa crawling towards Lucci. He laughed as a thought crossed his mind, "Did I make you weak in the knees?" he asked slightly before looking to the peacefully sleeping Lucci.
"That's sexual harassment," muttered Kalifa while gripping the blanket over Lucci. "Lucci, run," she muttered.
"Sorry, but that's not happening," muttered the man before lashing out with a kick of his leg, while it looked like that of a doll from the knee down, he still managed to cause significant damage to Kalifa, the force sending her crashing against the wooden wall, before she fell over barely conscious.
"Cp9 incapacitated," he muttered, then looked to the sleeping Lucci. "Guess I should wait for the others to start sailing back. But I should cuff them first," spoke the Agent to himself before, looking at his leg. "Now, how to fix this?" he asked himself.
" Doubt you'll need to," spoke a calm voice, startling the agent. He looked to see Lucci sitting on his bed.
"Ah, so you're awake? Well, guess I'll have to knock you out as well," spoke the Agent calmly.
"No, you'll have to try and run before you die," responded Lucci calmly.
"Huh?" muttered the young man.
"Sigh, guess I'll try this on you,,." Muttered Lucci as he accessed Michael, within his soul, he found a link from justice king to many other Skills, linked through an unbreakable chain. He shifted through them and found one; within that skill was a library of abilities.
He accessed them and selected one suitable for the situation. He waved a hand while saying the ability name. "Air blade." Immediately, a swift slash of wind moved from his hands and bisected the shocked CP2 agent. The man died before he knew it.
The whole process took less than a second thanks to the thought acceleration skill that boosted his processing speed. There were a lot of skills within his mind that he had access to; shuffling through them all would have been a daunting task if not for thought acceleration.
[Notice..Manas Micheal has been dismantled to form a sea of magicules within Rob Lucci, commencing conversion from Human to Enlightened. Please stand by.]
A voice rang within the soul of Lucci, and then it was rocked with an incredible amount of energy. His soul evolved. The impact caused him to fall over unconscious.
